Polk County People
Asked to Buy Bonds
To Help Win the War
"VToday marks the first day of a
tick’s campaign to get every
American to pledge to invest a
specific- sum in WAR Sawings
Bonds (or stamps) each week,
month or at times most convenient
to the investor. During the week
it is hoped that the Boy Scouts
and other volunteer canvassers
will contact every person in Polk
County and that their efforts will
result in our County meeting its
quota of $10,900.00 set by the
WAR Savings Staff of the Treas
ury Department.
It is strictly up to each Ameri
can to do his or her bit by whole
hearted. cooperation with our gpv
ernment in making this campaign
a success. Should we not meet
the quota, Axis propagandists will
have a topic for their broadcasts
to other nations. It is going to
-JSVKK difficult to contact every citi
Mv during the time allocated for
this campaign. Patriotic citizens
will not wait to be contacted by
a canvasser. Instead they will
make it their business to help by
obtaining an^ signing a pledge
card as soon as possible.
Our government is putting us on
trial this week. Unless we rise to
occasion in true American spirit,
some form of compulsory saving
is likely to be enforced. That would
be as foreign to American ideals
as for us to fail in going over
the top in this campaign. Just the
fact of our quickly meeting and
exceedng our quota will have tre
k mendous effect on the peoples of
the worl<3 and might easily swing
